Abstract

Gaza Strip suffers from a lack of advanced techniques that help and support land registration such as GIS technology. The currently-used-system for land registration in the Gaza Strip is extremely traditional and not able to meet the increasing demand. Conflicts between data on maps and on ground are frequently faced and decisions relating to these problems cannot easily be made. Such an out of date system leads to difficulties in tracking and updating land owners and identifying the actual current owners. This research aims to suggest a new automatic land registration system in the Gaza Strip. Through a multi users unified database with identified access per each user, this new system will ease land registration for both Gaza citizens as well as the Palestinian Land Authority's (PLA) employees. A user-friendly web-based GIS tool is developed to accelerate the land registration process, in addition to providing a decision support system through easily managing and interpreting attribute and spatial data in a precise logical way. The aforementioned new developed tools will create and maintain an accurate, secure and comprehensive land registration system in the Gaza Strip.

Highlights

  • As much as the term of land registration has definitions, Williamson's [1] defines land registration is more superior; the process whereby land and every single detail about it may be effectively managed

  • To enhance our understanding for the benefits of bringing the new proposed methodology alive, several in depth interviews with the main stakeholders are conducted in order to consult them about this new proposed LRS

  • The automated LRS can save time and efforts for both Palestinian Land Authority (PLA) employees and the clients as well as providing clients with the opportunity to track their transactions via SMS and e-mail

Summary

Introduction

As much as the term of land registration has definitions, Williamson's [1] defines land registration is more superior; the process whereby land and every single detail about it may be effectively managed. Land registration saves information about lands to provide when needed, to people with interest in real estate and information about those interests like nature, weather, period of land registration. It includes a certain detail such as ownership, location, size, improvements and value. The use of GIS for this purpose is limited as well as data for land property and history is unavailable. Conflicts between data on maps and on ground are frequently
